Since the Big West and Mountain West do not have a league tournament, those teams just finished playing on Saturday. I would give them a week to finish end of year meetings before coaching decision are made.

To keep kids practicing but not playing you have to communicate why. Pitching coach messed up mechanics of fresh. pitcher. Coaches have no idea how to make what some call average players better, but other schools have shown it can be done. Resentment now because coach talked a big game coming in, pun intended. Quiet at V Tech from players. But one has quit. too. They had injuries so eye is not on coach from my limited knowledge.

FWIW - from someone close to the program, the rash of injuries were not merely a coincidence but a result of coaching decisions including workouts that directly resulted in said injuries.

Well, I hope that wouldn't be true. If it is, sounds like actions of a desperate staff to get their team motivated. New AD has let go, what 2 Head Coaches with under-performing programs? I'd think Thomas would be looking over his shoulder.

Indiana could literally give a crap about Softball. AD just fired the HC from both Football and Basketball. He doesn't want any additional heat from the firing of another HC in a sport he can barely spell. It's a shame; great degree, great town, fantastic facilities, etc. The athletes they have are decent, but no difference makers want to play for her. The team lost something like 14 one run games. I think if she stays you'll see quite a few transfers and recruits rescinding verbals. Not a bad person, but a truly bad Coach.

Assume UNLV coach is staying??? UNLV record is about as bad as New Mexico. Congrats staff at New Mexico for making coaching change

A new AD is starting on June 1, 2017. Desiree Reed-Francois is a former assistant AD from Virginia Tech.

Any changes would most likely occur after that date. There is no public information about Dodd's contract status after her initial 3 year contract, but UNLV has tended to extend a year at a time, one year in advance.

I don't know if she was a lame duck this year, or was extended through 2018. Everyone will have to wait until June to find out!

A lot of the people you guys are talking about have contracts thru 2018 or more. UNLV and CSUB for example and a bunch of others on the "hot seat". I can't think of one example of where an AD has gotten rid of a Softball Coach before their contract was up for poor records.
